okay, I earthed the solenoid properly, dude before me did a bad job, the top line goes the plumb back off the bov, and the bottom line is blocked off, yet to take it for a drive, should I be getting 7 psi?

As in my PM response, there shouldn't be anything blocked off.

After having got the idle down to roughly normal on the Wagon, I checked the timing again this arvo, it was down to 100 so I bumped it back up to 200ish.

Current tank is 98 with some Nulon injector cleaner in it.

It now has more pickup again! :woot:

Slowly she is coming back to life.

Mik and I (mostly Mik) did some more work on the SkyWagon's Strut Brace today too. (I'll let Mik post the pics)

Spent yesterday putting my old car back together and primer filling the front bar so I can sell it and free up some cash for the GTR :)

Only have to sand and spray the front bar, new rear suspension and sway bar, top up fluids, full alignment and put tyres back on the freshly powder coated rims

Ok, done, its ready for ginding. :yes:

Here, its done.

Goodnight, see you soon. :closedeyes:

Did you tack the welds with the bar in place on the car? I only ask as I noticed the battery terminals were still connected - should be disconnected if welding.

We did tack it on the car...

We didn't disconnect the Batty. :(

Keep that in mind for next time hey?

The sheet we threw over the engine caught fire right above the fuel filter. :laugh:

Yeah it was a bit of a "Holy Sh!t FIRE!!!" moment. :D

Good info on the battery thing. Thanks mate.

I thought you were gonna say it may fry the ECU.

batteries can explode, step father was a bolier maker by trade and that was rule number 1 when working on vehicles. I heard it happen on a quad bike once at Goulburn tafe - some guys were doing a quick repair, when off like a bomb... seat was on, but still it made a mess.

Ahh.... i thought it was just danger of the gas igniting.

A boiling exploding battery in the face would be.... um..... bad.

Good tip to remember, thanks.

And i think i should get some protection, some welding mats and an apron.

And something to stop those hot bits going down inside my boots. Ow!

My rear speakers have not worked since i bought my car, the rear speakers are standard and in bad shape. I bypassed my stock amp using this method http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/203299-r32-factory-amp-bypass-diy/

After bypassing the amp the rear speakers still did not have any power, I then pulled out the head unit to reveal a real birds nest of twist and tape wiring with only the front speakers being wired in.

I printed off a wiring diagram to work out whats going on - http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf

So now i find that the nissan wire colours are all wrong and some doubled up according to 2 different wiring diagrams.

I have checked the wires going into all the speakers and noted down the colours, barely any of these colours match up with to the wires behind the stereo.

If anybody thinks they would be able to help sort this out please PM me.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
